JSP trying to create a time-triggered form

[Per Magnus L?vold]

Hi,
I wonder if anybody knows how I can implement a "time triggered form".
That is; I wish a form to be submitted (with hidden parameters) for a
given time interval (every 10 seconds).
The JSP connects to a database where a program is running. When the
first one is finished, I will start a following program
(sequentially). This way, I wish to "automaticly" update the JSP page
until the background programs are finished and display the results.

Regards, Per Magnus

I think you will find that no form 'auto-submit'
(which can be triggered using JS) will happen
silently, due to User Agents giving the user
tight security and ultimate control.

Most commonly a dialog would pop-up asking
the user if they actually want to submit
the form.

Ultimately though, you would be best off seeking
answers in the HTML/web-design/JS groups.
